After a busy day filled with work and responsibilities, it is difficult for me to transition into a relaxed state conducive to reading. I have trouble slowing down, thinking about the day's events and tomorrow's tasks, and it can make it difficult to focus on the words on the page. When I was younger it seems easier to get into a relaxed state, but I find it more difficult as I age.
For those who struggle to slow down and get in the right mindset for reading after a busy day, what techniques or routines have you found effective to help with this transition? Do you prefer to read at specific times, such as early morning or late at night, to avoid the mental residue of a hectic day? I would be interested to hear your techniques and maybe to try adopt some of them.
Thanks Stackers!
